An elderly patient tells you she is unable to read some of the instructions about her medication. Your first response is to:
 
  1. Give the patient verbal instructions for the medication.
  2. Read the instructions with the patient then have her repeat them back to you.
  3. Stop the medication until the patient can get an appointment in the clinic.
  4. Do nothing and tell the patient to take the medication as prescribed.

Question 2

The rationale for the 1992 changes in the Food and Drug Administration regulations to permit accelerated approval of drugs for the treatment of life-threatening or severely debilitating disease was:
 
  A. to allow for marketing before completion of Phase II of drug trials.
  B. to ensure that the unknown risks associated with early approval are balanced by the need for effective drugs.
  C. to change the rules because existing FDA regulations were too stringent for potentially effective drugs.
  D. to accelerate approval of new drugs to give physicians the option of using them without research findings.
